Would it be possible to give trees (those that look big enough to support a person) an invisible tile of 1st floor to climb on? Since there are no hills in JA2 and everything is perfectly flat, I think it would add something to this game to have the option to climb on trees. Imagine snipers sitting in a tree happy

 That would be a map issue. In the map editor, one would simply place a roof tile on a tree. I think there was also a way to make those invisible, I recall doing that in one of the last conventions. Could be smeagol is already using this in AIMNAS bigmaps, not sure.

Note that while a tree might look thick and like a good hiding spot, it isn't on the roof level. It's essentially the same as climbing a 1x1 house, you'll be visible from afar.

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

Okay, that doesn't sound too complicated. Could it be done in the editor so that all trees being placed automatically include the roof tile? I mean from my end.

Regarding visibility, does this mean that trees are only 1 level high?

 I am all but certain that there are no structures that include both ground and roof level (stuff on top of buildings are separate structures). So yes, trees are only 1 level high. There is no way from your end to automatically give trees a roof tile. That requires code changes. Which are rather nasty, because from code alone, we don't know what is a tree and what isn't - we'd require some additional input (xml-wise or so).

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.
